americans use this word casually far too often, its offensive and if i heard anyone say it next to any handicapped kid/adult id shame them on the spot... might even give them a slap

your right. My buddies kid has Downs Syndrome and I said retard a few times and he blew up on me. Of course he always said it prior to that but I try to watch it now.
-
Some people suffer from motor conditions, disabilities, genetic disorders, etc.....On the other hand, some people have nothing wrong going on at all but are just plain retarded.
-
the sane assholes that are doing stupid shits are the true RETARDED mothafuckers
-
fuckin retards always trying to tell other people what they can say, worse than ni ggers.

True, but the most retarded lot are the fucking feminist cunts, they are a fucking plague, much worse than the retards but not as bad as guys.
-
this decision is retarded as fuck
-
I mean, do you ban it for everything? Like if I'm working on my car, can I not retard the timing? This country has become so PC it's not even funny. Let's do away with the word niggardly as well while we are at it. ::)
-
I'll never stop saying retarded. It just works so well in so many situations.
-
i cant understand how any american could feel they have a right to limit free speech.fucking retarded blacks.i don't believe in using these words but god damn i as an american am going to fight back for my freedom to use them.the people that are trying to ban these words think they are helping but they forget history and the lives lost and the reality of banning speech in any way.society will ostracize these words on its own .we dont need the law to dictate speech.
-
How can you ban a word. Didn't black have a big ceremony a year back or something banning their own use of the word guy. Ya that worked out well.
-
wo cant beleive what just happend to my post. ??? :o
-
Retarded bunch of fags, seriously it`s not complicated,
you don`t say fag infront of a queer,
you don`t say midget infront of a shortass,
you don`t say fatty infront of fat chicks.
you don`t say twink in front of most non get biggers.
-
gay
-
What the fuck is this? Some poeple are midgets, some people are short (like me) and some people are retarded. Boo-hoo, big deal. People in USA should accept reality as it is and stop trying to make it "sound" better than it is.
Not everyone is equal. Retarded people are intellectually inferior. That's it, it's a fact. If you feel offended by describing what you really are then kill yourself or fix yourself... Or suck it up.
-
your right. My buddies kid has Downs Syndrome and I said retard a few times and he blew up on me. Of course he always said it prior to that but I try to watch it now.
But Downs ARE retarded...maybe your buddy hasn't accepted that yet.

It is not offensive to most, cause only a stupid person would say that word in front of a handicapped person. This isn't the only meaning to the word, it is used in many ways, it actually is starting to replace the word awesome or the word outrageous, equivalent to the word "sick".....
-

what a bunch of fags
-
lol. I know what the word means because my work is filled with a bunch of fucking overpaid usless retards.
-
Nuke black retarded gay whales for Jesus!
-

What? It is a medical term.
-
If you ban the word "retard", what adjective would we use to describe Sherief Shalaby?
;D
-
You cannot just "ban" a word lol - how you do that? You erase it from the memory of millions of people on this planet? The word retard and retarded is already pretty much "banned" in an office environment, what they want to tell people that they are not allowed to use this word in public and might be sued if they do so?
-

lol, that's not what I meant, if my friend pisses me off and I yell 30 feet away at him that he is a retard and some handicapped kid is between us then I would be stupid for doing so ;)
-
I fucking hate pc bullshit. No words should be banned in a democracy.

I could not agree with you more, I love the word retard and retarded its... fun
-

No, it was this little 12 yr old who was applauded for him saying it should be banned---he forgot to learn the word "fascist".
-

Recently I had a snotty little upper middle class liberal white girl try to lecture me when I called a buddy a retard in her presence. I wasn't having that bullshit.

Yeah sure

I thought the Getbig term was 'retarted?'
-

If I yelled retard to one of my friends and a retard was in between us. I would say no retard, I was talking to the other retard you retard.

Stop being a baby. I bet I`d say retarded all day long in front of you and nothing would happen.
-
-

That will be banned too, for retardedly spelling the word "retarded" and thinking you could get away with it.
-
That's rediculous and deserves to be rediculed. ;)
-

Look at his name, local hero. It is obvious by the name alone he is real white knight material.
-
one of my friends has a brother who is severely mentally handicapped. he thinks using the word is offensive. weve discussed it before. im not so sure i agree. he tried comparing the useage of the word "gay" with the word. but when some one says something is gay, they are correlating homosexualness with negativity. whereas when someone says something is retarded, yes its correlated with a negative, but thats the definition of the word retarded to begin with. there is no way to say retarded without it meaning something to the extent of less than, wrong with, negative.. etc. so i dont really agree with the idea that using the term is offense. but i can understand someone feeling that way and so i avoid using it.
-
Just remember the song:
So why don't you use it?
Try not to bruise it
Buy time don't lose it
The retard is an only child he's waiting in the park
The retard is in charge of finding treasure in the dark
And watching over lucky clover isn't that bizarre
Every little thing the retard does
Leaves you answered with a question mark

The argument isn't whether it's offensive, it probably is, but rather should the word or any other word be banned.
-
Words: nothing more powerful, or as weak. Anyone else remember that example a few years back where an assemblyman (I think) correctly used the word niggardly, and all hell broke loose. Oh brother.
-

X1000. If people would donate some time to working with mentally handicapped kids in their community (i.e. coaching special needs little league, etc), they would see how hard these kids try to do the same things every kid wants to do. To equate mental retardation with being stupid is demeaning and insulting. The people using the word retarded as an insult are usually the ones with the low IQ.
-
So, instead of the word "retard", what about "Windowlicker"?

use that all the time its window licking good

i think the answer to that is well established and quite obvious, i am more interested in whether or not its logically offensive.
-

Why not though?
-
I love these self-important twats who try to "ban" certain words.
Epic delusions of grandeur.
-

logically, no. but like 'queer' means unusual, it has a negative meaning when used towards gays - even though they are 'unusual' (meaning not the norm) in terms of their sexual preference. retarded is accurate, some people have retarded mental or physical development - it has been slowed or stopped at a point short of full development, but it has become a negative term. like negro is now. in a few years 'special needs' will probably be seen as offensive by the next generation of retards who dont like being seen as inferior for having 'special needs'.

Gays are beyond unusual. They are a repulsive abomination, without exception.
-
I kind of like the word fucktard, that one is still OK right? :D
-

queer isnt negative when used about gays. "queer eye for the straight guy" remember that show ?

is that how you feel about women as well ? since your judging the person and not the body, and gay men and straight women have most of the same personal characteristics..

retard says what?
get the kid a helmet and relax.
-
more retarded than a gayer than thread
-
If you ever find yourself offended... Remember you fuckin deserve it you pussy.
-
Those goofy bastards are just about the best thing I've got going in this crazy world.
-
-
So many people equate having unusual physical appearance, unusual speech patterns, ackward social skills with being "retarded"
-
Banning the word "Retarded"?
Good luck with that.
-
LoL at the Hierarchy trying to ban words. Whats next, burning books like Hitler did.
-

I have no problem with heterosexual women who know their place.
I stand by what I said, regardless of how "mean," "hateful," or "offensive" liberal queers may think I am.
-

I'm more in favor of banning retards.
